It isn't just whether or not it is better than this or that, but the concept that no one person should be able to dictate the direction of this industry. Linux and FreeBSD both support the ideal in how O/S's should be in form, and how they are distributed, with no one to charge you $50 to $299 for an upgrade as long as you have your registration, along with a ton of cash for worthless add-ons. Let's face it, I really don't know about FreeBSD but yggdrasil(?) and slackware linux distributions come with just about everything(excepting a decent Word Processor), and for the average user, in both cases I'm sure, works just fine.
